Sure. I'm really glad they DID do a Kickstarter because it's a great way to see actual demand. Fans can put their money where their mouths are, and it looks like they have. Good for Suzuki!

At least this is a Kickstarter for a franchise could actually result in a good game, unlike Igarashit's scamstarter!

Yo daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

 

[REDSLATE]

Uh. GAF. I backed immediately when the site was chugging.

I chose the $29 tier but it pledged me at the $10,000 jacket tier.

Am I badass enough to roll around in a 10k jacket?

Spoiler

no

Change it NOW then please.

Chill, son... I don't think he actually bought it. It just glitched and highlighted it.

Someone should change your title

Was really hoping a remaster of 1 & 2 would be a big stretch goal

Or it's to prove there is adequate interest to fund it. There's clearly a reason why it was announced at their presser after the Cerny tweets, etc. but I doubt an extra $2M would stop Sony if they believed there was a market for the game.

Yeah, same situation as Bloodstained I'm imagining. Sony are ready to go with this, but they want actual cash-backed proof before going with what they already know.

Shenmue III does need a serious budget, let's not fool ourselves about that for a minute. I hope Sony -or whoever Suzuki's backers are- jump in with confidence.

Amazing. This is Pheonix Dark Avatar box office-type satisfaction.

Not sure if its been posted yet but here is the best reaction from Michael Huber of gametrailers.com

Watching this live was insane

 

[Curler]

So did Ken Sugmori (Pokemon designer/artist) just pledge $10,000 to this?

if shenmue iii has to happen because i'm partly funding it, then so be it.

[GustyGardens]

That doesn't seem likely, given that it's only 2 million that they are asking for, and Yu definitely doesn't have the money to back the rest of the game up.

I can understand that. If it is Sony giving them a portion of the money, then good on them! I wonder if Sega will have anything to do with this, not like they're in the best of financial situations, though.

 

[uncredited male]

I realize I have forgotten most everything from the previous Shenmue games.

I guess the market for rereleasing the first two is there in a manner of speaking.

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

Can you post this in the Sony E3 thread, as well, Shinobi? There's been some snide remarks about Shenmue 3.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

I wonder if Sony is doing part of the funding.

I can feel the subtle salt, duck.

Nah, I'm kidding.

 

[G0523]

So, if I'm understanding this right, if you want to play the whole trilogy you need to play each game on different systems (in the US at least):

-Shenmue (Dreamcast)
-Shenmue II (Xbox (or B/C on 360))
-Shenmue III (PS4)

I wonder/hope if there will be a stretch goal to port or remaster the first two for PS4 and PC.

the reaction is priceless

their reaction to FF7R to Shenmue 3 brought joy to my heart

 

[duckroll]

you have gone TOO FAR duckroll

In your heart you know it is true.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Holy Hell. This Kickstarter must be breaking records on the site.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Legendary.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I guess it took a Shenmue 3 announcement for Sculli to show up on the gaming side.

 

[Krejlooc]

Holy Hell. This Kickstarter must be breaking records on the site.

It keeps crashing the site

 

[GhaleonEB]

This is the best reaction of all-time.

OF ALL-TIME.

Video?

 

[Amir0x]

In your heart you know it is true.

My heart sees only whips and magical music and hears nothing of your slander!

 

[brett2]

is it similar to Yakuza?

I actually haven't played Yakuza but based on videos I have watched I would say no. You get to interact with unique personalities on a day to day basis as the plot unfolds. You actually feel like you are a part of a community in the first game and then as an outsider in a strange country in the second. You learn Kung Fu like those montages in the classic movies and actually wander around to say goodbye to your friends before you leave the city. Ohh and it has the greatest gaming soundtrack of all time.

Dear Brothers of Shenmue, The Last Guardian and FFVII Remake GAF.

In our finest hour, under a united banner we willed a miracle in to existence.

Let it be forever remembered that this banner was created BEFORE the Sony Conference by fellow brothers.

Let us not forget this day, for this call to arms may be needed once again.

BELIEVE!

This should be the GAF banner for atleast the next 6 months

To be fair, if the kickstarter was announced on its own instead of in the middle of E3 I'd imagine it probably wouldn't have gone anywhere near as fast as it is now

 

[cantona222]

Sometime in the future my grandchildren will be proud that their grandfather was a pre-1mil$ backer for Shenmue 3 ^_^'

 

[Sandfox]

I realize I have forgotten most everything from the previous Shenmue games.

Sony or whoever is in charge need to re-release the last two games before this comes out unless they expect only people who played the old DC versions to buy this.

You most definitely do NOT want to play Shenmue II on XBOX. That is a butchered version. Play both Shenmue and Shenmue II on Dreamcast only.

 

[Buzzati]

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

Kickstarter consumers get cool shit for buying in, and non-kickstarter consumers still get to buy the game, and developers can prove that their series have interest to publishers. win-win-win

Funny how Kickstarter fell over in a heap minutes after the reveal.

There needs to be a PS4 physical tier. I don't understand why there isn't.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Over $1 million!?

If you own a PC and have the original Dreamcast versions you can also emulate them on NullDC on PC (and other platforms). I played through Shenmue 1/2 like this and even imported my saves/

Never played a Shenmue game before but the hype is contagious so I'll buy it day 1, lol.

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

Perhaps it's good old Sega.

$4million for 3 villages stretch goal though...

It's definitely not ending with 3...but will it be as big as 1 or 2...
